Description

The Vantageview PD6730 is a plastic, field-mounted flow rate/totalizer that can display flow rate and total from a pulse output flowmeter. Its display has a five digit upper line for rate, a seven alpha-numeric character lower line for total, and comes standard with a backlight. The PD6730 is built in a NEMA 4X and IP65 rated plastic enclosure which can stand up to even the harshest environmental conditions. It can be powered from an included battery or a 24 VDC external power supply. Some features that really make the PD6730 stand out are its automatic unit conversions from flowmeter k-factor units, ability to log up to 1024 data points, and SafeTouch® through-window buttons. These buttons allow the PD6730 to be programmed and operated through the cover window, thus eliminating the need to remove the cover in dirty or wet environments.

Expected service life & recommended replacement interval is dependant on the operating conditions.

Rate/Totalizer

Display Assignment: The Top display is assigned to rate or total. The Bottom display is programmable to display total; total and units; total and tag; total, total units, and rate units; grand total; grand total and grand total units; grand total and tag; grand total, grand total units, and rate units; rate units; rate; rate and total units; rate and rate units; rate and tag; rate units; total units; a custom tag; or be off (blank).Rate Display Units: Gallons, liters, imperial gallons, cubic meters, barrels, bushels, cubic yards, cubic feet, cubic inches, liquid barrels, beer barrels, hectoliters, or custom.Rate Display Time Base: Display rate may be calculated in terms of units per second, minute, hour, or dayTotal/Grand Total Display Units: Gallons, liters, imperial gallons, cubic meters, barrels, bushels, cubic yards, cubic feet, cubic inches, liquid barrels, beer barrels, hectoliters, or custom. Setting is independent for each.Total/Grand Total Display Unit Multiplier: x1, x100, x1000, or x1,000,000 multiplier (and prefix) applied to total or grand total display units. Setting is independent for each.Total/Grand Total Decimal Points: Up to six decimal places or none: 6.666666, 55.55555, 444.4444, 3333.333, 22222.22, 111111.1 or 0000000. Total and grand total decimal points are independently programmed, and are independent of rate decimal point.Totalizers: Calculates total and grand total based on rate and field programmable multiplier to display total in engineering units. Time base must be selected according to the time units in which the rate is displayed. The total and grand total utilize the same time base, with different conversion factors and resets.Totalizer Reset: Via SafeTouch RESET button, mechanical button (cover off), external contact closure (total only), automatically via user selectable preset value and time delay (1 – 99,999 sec). Manual reset may be disabled or protected by password for the total and grand total. Total and grand total reset independently.Total Overflow & Rollover: The total can display up to 9,999,999,999,999. Up to 9,999,999 can be displayed on the lower display normally. An overflow display will toggle between the first six digits and last seven digits (999999 <> 9999999) for a 13-digit total. The total will rollover beyond thirteen digits. The T indicator on the display will flash to indicate total overflow, and the six most significant digits (first six numbers of the total) are indicated with the flashing overflow symbol.Grand Total Overflow & Rollover: The grand total can display up to 9,999,999,999,999. Up to 9,999,999 can be displayed on the lower display normally. An overflow display will toggle between the first six digits and last seven digits (999999 <> 9999999) for a 13-digit total. The grand total will rollover beyond thirteen digits. The GT indicator on the display will flash to indicate grand total overflow, and the six most significant digits (first six numbers of the grand total) are indicated with the flashing overflow symbol.External Reset Contact: External total reset connections are made between RST and COM. Logic High: 1.4 V, 3.3V max; Logic Low: < 0.8 V. 32 ms debounce.

Open Collector Outputs

Output Assignment: Two open collector pulse outputs Out 1 and Out 2. Individually programmable for rate, total, or grand total alarms; rate, total, or grand total pulse outputs; or retransmitting of pulse inputs; constant timed pulse output; quadrature outputs (requires Out 1 and Out 2); or off.Rating: Isolated open collector, off: 24 VDC max; on: <1V @ 150 mA max.Alarm Outputs: Assign to rate for high or low alarm trip point. Assign to total or grand total for total or grand total summation alarms.Alarm Deadband: 0-100% FS, user selectableAlarm Acknowledge: ACK button resets output and LCD indication. Pulse Output K-Factor (Count): K-factor () programmable from 0.000001 to 9999999. Rate pulses are generated as a scaled output of the rate input with one output pulse per K-factor (count) number of input pulses. Total and grand total pulses are generated for every total or grand total increment selected. (e.g. K factor value of 100 will generate one pulse every time the total is incriminated by 100 units) Rate retransmission pulses one to one for input pulses, up to maximum output speed. K-factor is not used for retransmitting outputs.Pulse Output Maximum Frequency: 5 kHz; 50% duty cycle. If the maximum would be exceeded, the meter will displayPulse Rate Retransmit Output: The output will generate 100 to 130 us pulses at the falling edge of every input pulse. Maximum retransmit frequency: 5 kHz.Quadrature Output: Output set to quadrature will lag the other pulse output by 90° (1/4 duty cycle) at output frequency. Minimum 1 HzTimer Output: Programmable on and off time, repeating cycle. Minimum period 0.1 second, maximum 100,000 seconds. Minimum pulse time 0.01 second, maximum 10,000 seconds.

MeterView EX Software

MeterView EX software allows for programming of the ProtEX-RTP PD6830 and Vantageview PD6730 pulse-input rate/totalizers. The meter connects to a PC with a PDA8068 meter to USB adapter, or models with the RS-485 option may use an appropriate RS-232 or USB serial converter. This remote programming software allows for all meter settings to be programmed from a PC through an easy to understand interface.
